Bennet among 8 senators voting no on cliff deal

DENVER — Colorado’s congressional delegation split on the compromise to break the fiscal cliff largely along party lines.

However, Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet was among just eight senators — and three Democrats — who voted against the deal. He said he supported many of the items in the proposal but said he couldn’t vote for a deal that didn’t include a comprehensive plan to reduce the nation’s debt. Sen. Mark Udall voted for it.
